Golf is At Its Peak—And More Welcoming Than Ever
Golf has seen a remarkable resurgence in recent years, bouncing back from its pre-COVID decline with renewed energy and enthusiasm According to the National Golf Foundation’s Graffis Report, 28 1 million Americans played traditional “green grass” golf in 2024 an increase of 1 8 million from the previous year Growth is especially strong among women and junior players, with junior golf participation rising 40% and female participation up 23% since 2018. As the sport becomes younger, more inclusive, and undeniably cooler, there’s never been a better time to get involved in the game (National Golf Foundation).
It’s great that more people are getting out there to golf; the statistics prove it, but why is golf on the rise? According to editorial director Erik Matuszewski, golf is more than just a serious sport for youth and the 18-34 age bracket, noting a lot of these golfers are “getting out there, engaging with friends and having a social experience on the course ” Golf is also becoming more accessible, by many clubs offering clinics, youth rate deals, discounted rates for off-peak times, and more According to Michael Lo’Re, “ensuring that we remain a sport that is accessible to all is critical” (PGA Tour)
Aditionally, the game of golf offers countless physical and mental benefits such as fostering mental well-being, physical health, and an overall well rounded lifestyle According to Dr Sam Yoon, “whether you seek a competitive golf sport, a fun way to stay active, or a means to network and build friendships, golf provides an accessible platform for all ages and abilities” and is “truly more than just a game”.
At The Glen Club, we’re proud to be part of golf’s exciting resurgence creating opportunities for players of all levels to enjoy the game. From hosting the prestigious NV5 Invitational, part of the Korn Ferry Tour, to offering accessible programs like our Fore The Ladies clinics and junior instruction, we strive to make golf welcoming, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone Whether you’re a seasoned player or brand new to the sport, there’s a place for you here Book a tee time online, take a lesson with one of our pros, or stop by the range and get into the swing of it your golf journey starts at The Glen Club

Blue Hues & Beautiful “I Do’s”
For summer weddings at The Glen Club, blue has been making a striking appearance. This timeless color continues to show up in a range of elegant tones, proving it’s more than just a trend it’s become a wedding-day essential. The celebrations we’ve recently hosted highlight how effortlessly blue can elevate any element, creating a dreamy, serene atmosphere that feels both modern and enduring
It’s no surprise blue has long symbolized depth, stability, and trust qualities deeply rooted in both ancient traditions and modern trends. As Bridal Tip notes, “incorporating shades of blue into wedding decor can evoke a sense of calm, serenity, and timeless beauty ” Whether chosen for its visual appeal or its deeper emotional meaning, blue consistently makes a lasting impression At The Glen Club, we’ve seen this versatile hue bring beauty, elegance, and personal expression to every celebration
Couples embrace blue in both subtle and dramatic ways at our venue. Sometimes it’s a soft touch a china blue ribbon wrapped around napkins and menu cards, delicate blue blooms tucked into a classic white cake, or bridesmaids dressed in dreamy shades of baby and sky blue to set the tone. Other times, the effect is breathtakingly bold: rich sapphire tablecloths envelop the space, transforming a reception room into a sea of deep, romantic color Whether used to accent a moment or define the entire design, blue continues to complement The Glen Club’s timeless charm leaving couples with a celebration that’s as unforgettable as it is uniquely their own.

Set the Mood with Lighting and Color
Lighting makes all the difference String lights are a simple, beautiful way to bring warmth and charm to your space as the sun sets. Drape them over a patio (such as our terrace and patio), wrap them around trees, or hang them overhead to create a cozy, magical glow When it comes to color, keep things fun and fresh. Go for soft neutrals (photo 1) for a clean, elegant vibe, or embrace seasonal shades like sage green paired with bright sunflowers and playful pops of color (photo 2) The idea is to keep things light and celebratory just like summer itself.
Create a Thoughtful Table Setting
Pull together a few simple pieces to elevate your tablescape. Mix textures linen napkins, wooden boards, and ceramic dishes for an effortless, relaxed look Add fresh flowers or greenery from your garden to tie it all together Planning a more sophisticated sunset soirée?
